ACES Technology (Air Combat Engineering Systems Technology) is a research and development initiative dedicated to exploring and analyzing cutting-edge advancements in military aerospace systems, with a focus on combat aircraft and their supporting technologies.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between academic research and real-world defense innovation by:
- Investigating emerging technologies in air combat systems
- Building functional engineering prototypes and demos
- Hosting asynchronous webinars to discuss discovered insights and to promote open discourse
- Providing insights for engineers, defense professionals, and policy researchers
- Combat Aircraft Systems Analysis: In-depth studies of programs like the F-35 Lightning II, Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD), and Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA)
- Modularity & Embedded Systems: Design and prototyping of plug-and-play sensor platforms that simulate advanced aircraft avionics
- Visualization Projects: Development of informative tools such as the NexGen Air Battlespace 2D visualization for emerging aerial platforms and strategic ecosystems
- Sensor and Data Integration: Real-time, embedded data acquisition systems powered by Arduino-based platforms for educational demonstrations
A modular, low-cost sensor suite designed to demonstrate real-time embedded systems integration. Built using an Arduino Uno R4 WiFi, it includes:
- Radar-like ultrasonic scanning
- Environmental monitoring (temperature, humidity)
- Infrared proximity detection
- Web-based dashboard for live data visualization
An interactive 2D visualization project showcasing current and near-future air combat platforms, strategic interactions, and emerging technologies from government and industry sources. This project displays the various networks of platforms and technologies, providing details of the characteristics of the entities, how they are deployed in the air combat space, and how they relate to each other in sub-networks.
We have organized two major events:
- ACES Tech ALPHA Conference: Focused on new developments in combat aircraft technology, including analysis of F-35, NGAD, and CCA platforms
- ACES Tech BETA Conference: Highlights modularity, embedded systems, and cost-effective production strategies in defense engineering
Our work is not for profitable gain but aims to provide valuable insights while respecting third-party media and intellectual property. Any media used is for illustrative purposes only.
